2012 Kia Optima Hybrid At Madison TN Kia Dealer

There are many incredible amenities in the 2012 Optima Hybrid that Nashville Kia fans are sure to fall in love with. The fuel economy of this incredible model will get drivers where they need to go with fewer stops at the pump. Drivers can enjoy the 40-mpg fuel economy during every drive on the highway and an amazing 35-mpg in the city.

All 2012 Optima Hybrid models feature a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle gas engine. This incredible engine produces 166 horsepower and is mated to an efficient six-speed automatic transmission.

The full parallel hybrid system can be driven in zero emission, full-electric drive mode at speeds up to 62 miles per hour or in blended gas-electric mode at any speed. When Huntersville TN Kia drivers are at a complete stop and the electrical load is low, the engine shuts off to completely eliminate idle fuel consumption and emissions.

Advanced Technology For Nashville Kia Drivers

The 2012 Optima Hybrid adds to the extensive list of standard convenience features and stylish appointments found on the well-equipped Optima LX A/T trim. Equipment includes an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, electric dual zone automatic temperature control with rear vents, push-button start with Smart Key, and Supervision^™meter cluster with unique LCD display for hybrid information. Nashville Kia fans will also enjoy a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, one-touch automatic up/down on front windows, chrome interior door handles, glove box illumination, rear reading lamps, and fixed rear seats with ski pass-through, a feature not found on most hybrid midsize sedan competitors.

The Optima Hybrid's air conditioning system uses an electric compressor, reducing parasitic losses common in belt-driven systems and allowing cool air to flow even with the engine off in "idle-stop" mode.

The Optima Hybrid was the first Kia vehicle to offer the company's proprietary UVO powered by Microsoft^® voice-activated infotainment system, which is paired with the AM/FM/CD/MP3/Sat audio system with SiriusXM^™ Satellite Radio capabilities with three months complimentary service, back-up camera, auxiliary and USB audio input jacks for connecting with MP3 players and Bluetooth^® wireless connectivity with steering wheel-mounted controls. If Nashville Kia shoppers choose the Hybrid Premium and Technology Package, they will enjoy extra features such as a panoramic sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated and cooled front seats, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

Innovative Safety Features

Nashville Kia drivers can rest easy knowing their passengers are constantly protected by the impressive safety features of the 2012 Optima Hybrid. A four-wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), a Traction Control System (TCS), a Brake Assist System (BAS) and Hill Assist Control (HAC) are all standard and work towards protecting Clarksville Kia fans during every drive.

All trims come outfitted with driver and passenger advanced front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, first and second row side curtain airbags, front active headrests, side-impact door beams, height-adjustable front seatbelts with pre-tensioners, three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
